Tucker's Discovery

Book excerpt: An incredible scientific discovery with the potential to benefit all of mankind has an unintended consequence: geopolitical chaos. Leaders of nations threatened by the discovery dispatch assassins to eliminate the threat. Other state-sponsored agents are tasked to secure the secret formula for their own duplicitous motives. Desperate people do desperate things. The fragile order of power and wealth between leaders of nations and the precarious relationship between true relevance and those leaders grasping for relevance are challenged by the impact of the discovery. Tucker Cherokee is the last person alive that knows how to make the discovery work. It surprised him that people would want to kill or kidnap him because of that knowledge. Staying alive became an unwanted adventure. Fortunately, he knew just the right person to keep him alive.
